*shrug* perhaps I don't like the blue-grey with bubbly rounded corners and plasticy 
sloping edges. The new Libby seems to look more serious and professional than the 
Picturebook (which looks like a cross between a toy organizer and an overgrown 
Casseopia) *waits for the spam!*. The contrasting colors are nice too IMHO. I dunno, 
the new Libby just look sleeker and 'faster' than the PictureBook from the pictures 
I've seen. Then again I'm the sort of person that prefers the lines of a DeLorian to 
the bubbles of a Beetle ... not that I've got anywhere near the wealth to do more than 
just look at either vehicle :-(

No doubt ... but I'm assuming both sets of photos reflect the relevant systems equally.

Hehe ... well I can understand your feeling once I got my 50CT a few weeks ago. 
Particularly nice is the fact that it fits in my jacket pocket (which anything CT100 
and above can't do). Its RAM situation is a bit of a problem though (I've only got 16 
meg) ... my HDD pages like crazy. Now if only those battery packs that I ordered from 
the US almost 2 weeks ago will arrive ...
